    Butler, Cabrera lead Royals to fifth straight win

    Royals designated hitter Billy Butler celebrates with teammates after hitting a three-run homer in the sixth inning, lifting Kansas City to a 7-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox Thursday at Kauffman Stadium.

    KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)   Melky Cabrera had four hits, including a home run, and Billy Butler hit a three-run homer to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 7-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night.

    The loss officially eliminated the White Sox from the playoffs.

    The Royals’ five-game winning streak is their longest since they won five straight from Sept. 7-11, 2009.

    Cabrera’s four-hit game matched a career high and his double in the sixth was his 40th as an outfielder   he has one as a DH. The Royals are the first team in major league history to have three outfielders with 40 or more doubles. Alex Gordon and Jeff Francoeur both have 45.

    Butler’s 19th home run in the sixth inning came off Mark Buehrle (11-9), who has lost five of his last six starts.
